Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

New ZealandThe bed was really hard, the middle at the bottom seemed as though it was broken or sunken in. Photos of the room make the room look high end but are actually really old and the place has an old feeling to it.
The property had everything you needed, aircon, tv, etc Breakfast was good.

New ZealandThe courtesy room was dirty. although the bed was neatly made. The room needed to be cleaned up and the window needed to be opened before we arrived. Unfortunately the beddings weren't clean either. The floor was greasy and slippery from the moist of the sun's heat esp with windows and door closed. No shampoo, no soap, not enough flannels in the bathroom. The room will be more beautiful if painted.... The bathroom needs revamping properly. With the price of the View room, there should be two flannels for two customers instead of one. Ideally, some free coffee and tea and milk and cups and cutleries should be available. Kitchen dining table covers need to be binned. I was there many years ago, the covers are still the same. now :)
Staffs honesty, friendlyness and good hospitality. The view room was reasonably clean. Hot water was great. Bed was neatly clean and made. Having a courtesy room while the broken sliding door in my intended room was being fixed was also good. Nice to have free breakfast. Overall, ok

AustraliaI arranged for an airport pickup through the hotel for a late night arrival (about 1am), but when we landed, the guy was nowhere to be found and hadn't been seen that evening, despite me confirming the night before - the hotel seemed pretty indifferent to that when I told them later, and never apologised. Luckily I was able to share a taxi with some backpackers. When I finally got there about 3am, the security guard was snoring on the couch in the foyer, but my key was there on the counter to collect so all good. I struggled down for breakfast the next morning with reception telling me was on until 9:30, but when I got there just after 9, they had finished serving - after I grumped about that, they took pity and cooked me some toast. The Internet was painfully slow, there is no phone in the room, and there were other pretty average things about the room, but.... this is Tonga, not Sydney, and you have to moderate your expectations!
Emerald Hotel is a well located business hotel near the main drag and waterfront. The rooms are reasonable and spacious.
